That's damn good IMO. I'm usually down about 1/2 qt. @ 3k miles in both my vette and van.

sounds ok, I would run 10w down here, but that doesnt make much difference in terms of the consumption

The best place to find your answer is from the machinest. Oil clearances vary and I match oil to bearing clearance.temp matters also but I would check the clearance

Re: Oil Consumption Question.
Thats great... I read an ASE article that stated - get this....
One quart for every 800 miles is acceptable, anything less
should be looked at as a potential problem. 1/3 quart over
4000 miles? Youre all set....Definitely
